Meet the Crew
Goodwill Good Stuff is a Goodwill Industries of Central Indiana blog run by a small in-house team who share a love of thrifting, crafting, and creative reuse. Together they document DIY projects, share outlet stories, and celebrate finds from across central Indiana.
The team behind the blog is a small in-house group that works alongside the larger mission of Goodwill Industries of Central Indiana. Their shared focus is on creative reuse, hands-on crafting, and the simple pleasure of finding unexpected treasures while thrifting. Together they turn everyday outlet discoveries into stories that feel welcoming and approachable for anyone curious about repurposing. The crew approaches each post with a friendly, collaborative spirit that reflects the broader community of makers, shoppers, and curious visitors who follow along with their projects and ideas.
Crafting is central to the work the team publishes, with DIY projects designed to be accessible for a wide range of skill levels and time commitments. Posts often highlight easy techniques, seasonal themes, and budget-friendly supplies, encouraging readers to try something new without feeling overwhelmed. The goal is to make crafting feel inviting rather than intimidating, showing how small efforts and a few basic materials can lead to charming results. By sharing their own process, the team invites readers to join in and adapt projects to fit their own style.
Thrifting is treated as both a practical habit and a source of inspiration, and the team enjoys documenting their finds from stores and outlets across the region. They celebrate the variety of items that pass through the space, from vintage glassware to quirky decorative pieces, and they enjoy pointing out how a simple object can spark a new idea. Outlet stories often highlight the unexpected, the weird, and the genuinely lovely, offering a window into what makes secondhand shopping feel like a small adventure each time.
Community connection runs through everything the team writes, from blog posts and seasonal features to intern spotlights and guest contributions. They view the blog as a way to extend the in-store experience online, creating a space where readers feel welcomed, encouraged, and gently inspired. By keeping the tone warm, conversational, and rooted in shared curiosity, the team helps bridge the gap between a local retail environment and the broader online audience that enjoys following along with their creative work.
